In the Qin army's camp, Zhao Tuo received Tu Sui's short soldiers rushing to report. He was shocked and angry, and immediately got up and walked outside the camp.
Before he reached the camp gate, he saw a group of soldiers coming in with Tu Sui's body in his arms. Looking from a distance, he saw that Tu Sui's body was covered in blood, his face was covered in mold, his hands were hanging down, motionless, as if he had lost his breath.
.
"Brother Tu!"
Zhao Tuo couldn't help shouting.
Tu Sui had a forthright personality and treated him like a brother, so he was highly respected by Zhao Tuo.
Not to mention that in the past, Tu Sui helped him relieve Huan Zhao's siege at the foot of Xingyang City, which was a show of friendship. The reason why he was assassinated in an ambush now was because Zhao Tuo invited Tu Sui to come here to discuss matters.
Various reasons made Zhao Tuo worried and angry, and he was extremely resentful of the assassin.
Fortunately, although Tu Sui was unconscious and bleeding from his face, he was still breathing. Zhao Tuo hurriedly called in military doctors from the camp to bandage Tu Sui's wounds and stop the bleeding, hoping to save his life.
"Brother Tu, don't worry, I will catch those who assassinated you and avenge you!"
After listening to Tu Sui's words before he fell unconscious, Zhao Tuo made a promise to avenge him on the spot.
Zhao Tuo ordered Tu Sui to be brought into a tent to rest, and after sending doctors to keep watch, Zhao Tuo immediately summoned all the generals and counselors in the army to discuss matters.
"Tian Chongshu Zi, you dare to send people to assassinate Brother Tu. How is this unreasonable? General, quickly lead the troops and lead us to destroy the Qi people!"
As soon as Black Butt entered the tent, he started yelling.
Not only him, but Shejian, Xiqigu and others also had angry faces and gnashed their teeth with hatred.
Tu Sui acted boldly and informally, and was very friendly to everyone. In the past, in Xingyang City, he did not regard He Jian and others as their humble status, but treated them as nobles. He even praised She Jian for his achievements in beheading generals and seizing flags. He was quite heroic.
Therefore, everyone respected Tu Sui very much and already regarded him as their big brother in their hearts.
"Sit down first."
Zhao Tuo showed no expression on his face and waved his hand for the generals to take their seats.
Then he said in a cold voice: "You are already aware of the assassination of Lieutenant Tu. Can you tell me, who is the mastermind of this matter?"
"Who? Those people were shouting the Grand Sima Military Order, and it was naturally the Grand Sima Tian Chong of Qi State. Such a Tian Chong, I didn't expect to send assassins to assassinate him instead of fighting him face to face. It's really despicable and shameless." Black Buttocks was the first one.
Scream loudly.
Zhang He, Bai Rong, Xiqigu and others also agreed: "It must be the hand of Qi Ren."
Zhao Tuo was noncommittal.
Li Shiqi shook his head and said: "In my opinion, this assassination was probably carried out by people from the four countries in the Qi camp. Tian Chong did not listen to them, so these people were bold enough to sneak into our Dongjun and assassinate Tu.
The county captain, and put the blame on the Qi people, so as to provoke a war between the two countries, and they benefited from it."
"People from the Four Kingdoms... I underestimated them this time."
Zhao Tuo whispered that he had indeed underestimated the other party and did not expect that the other party could do such a thing as assassinating Tu Sui.
Although he knew that these people had assassinated Xiangbang in Qi State and then won the victory, but this was the border of Qin State. It was only a ten-mile road, and there were 20,000 troops stationed in front and back, and there were hundreds of soldiers guarding Tu Sui.
, under such circumstances, those assassins dared to take action, which can be called audacious.
However, the reason why the opponent was able to succeed was because Tu Sui was too confident. If he had jumped off the chariot and squeezed into the group of short-hand soldiers when he was attacked, the opponent's few bows and crossbows would not have been able to shoot him. How could he be what he is today?
Disaster.
But Tu Sui was too proud. Even when he was attacked, he still stood on the car and commanded the short soldiers to meet the enemy. It was as if he had returned to the time when he was on the battlefield and commanded thousands of troops to fight. That's why he was shot by hidden arrows.
Seeing that both Li Shiqi and Zhao Tuo were targeting people from the Four Kingdoms, the generals nodded in agreement.
"What a group of insidious guys actually want to provoke us to fight with the Qi people. We should join hands with the Qi people first and deal with them." Black Butt said angrily.
However, Li Shiqi smiled and said: "What the Black-hip Army Marquis said is wrong, we are joining forces with the Qi people? Haha, this time we are just going to seek revenge from the Great Sima Tianchong of the Qi State!"
"Hey! What are you talking about, you drunkard? Aren't those people from the Four Kingdoms the ones who sent people to assassinate? Why do we go to Tian Chong for revenge?" Black Buttocks blinked, unable to react for a moment.
However, Li Shiqi smiled slightly and ignored him. Instead, he turned around and cupped his hands to Zhao Tuo who was sitting on the main seat and said: "General, Qi State's Great Sima Tianchong is on good terms with the general on the surface, but secretly he sent someone to assassinate our Qin State Commander-in-Chief. Now,
Such behavior is truly insidious and despicable, and has no credibility.”
"Fortunately, the general has recovered from his injuries. I would also like to ask the general to lead our army of Qin and march eastward. We will attack the unfaithful and punish the traitors. We will flatten the Qi camp to avenge the massacre of the commander-in-chief and enhance the prestige of our Qin State!"
"Okay! Tian Chong is an unfaithful person who sent assassins to murder our Qin commanders. His crime is extremely heinous. I will lead my troops to punish him!"
Zhao Tuo clapped his arms and stood up, saying loudly: "Generals, listen to the order and order your troops. I will send troops to avenge Brother Tu!"
Upon hearing this order, all the generals raised their hands in agreement.
Black Buttocks also reacted and couldn't help but chuckled: "So that's it, you are worthy of being a black-hearted drunkard. This move is really good! It's really good!"
Li Shiqi then said: "Please also ask the general to inform the officers and men of the army about the people from Qi and the four countries colluding to assassinate Tu Junwei, so as to arouse the soldiers to share the same hatred of the enemy and fight bravely to kill the enemy!"
A flash of light flashed in Zhao Tuo's eyes.
The assassination attempt by people from the four countries gave him a reason to take action.
When a teacher has a good reputation, he attacks the unrighteous and punishes the unfaithful. This is the righteousness of the world!
While the generals were preparing for war, Zhao Tuo also immediately issued military orders to control the situation.
The first thing is that the entire East County has entered a state of war, and troops are immediately sent to control all traffic arteries, especially the roads leading east to Zhencheng, to search for assassins, isolate traffic, and not allow anyone to pass.
According to Zhao Tuo and Li Shiqi's guess, Tian Chong would definitely not send anyone to assassinate him. This kind of thing is done secretly by people from the four countries, so before the news is sent back, the Qi people may not take any action.
, let alone being defensive against them.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In this way, Zhao Tuo can catch the Qi army by surprise. Before that, he had to isolate information to prevent the Qin army's actions from being leaked.
At the same time, Zhao Tuo ordered a horse to report the news of Tu Sui's assassination to the governor of Dongjun in Puyang, asking him to appease the civil society and control the situation in Dongjun. He also used tiger talismans to mobilize 10,000 Dongjun soldiers who had been selected over the past few days.
This time, he will lead 30,000 elite troops to surprise Zhen City.
…
"Chen Jun, there are Qin troops everywhere. They control all the road checkpoints. It may be difficult for us to return to Zhencheng."
In a mountain forest south of Puyang, Gongsun Xin came in with a few rangers, with a look of surprise on his face.
"This is normal. Tu Sui was assassinated, so the Qin army will naturally search for us everywhere. This is not surprising."
Chen Yu smiled slightly, not panicking, everything was as expected.
He glanced at the forest and saw dozens of rangers sitting on the grass. After a fight, many of them were injured and could not walk towards Zhencheng, so they had to hide deep in the forest to rest.
Fortunately, the soldiers of the Qin Army did not pursue him in order to protect Tu Sui, giving them a chance to breathe.
"Zhao Tuo's legs and feet were broken and he was lying on the bed. Tu Sui was hit by an arrow in the door. Even if he survived, he would never be able to go to the battlefield to lead the troops again. The tens of thousands of Qin troops in the East County would definitely be in chaos. As long as the news reaches Zhencheng, Zi
Fang and Hengyang Jun can then take action, either instigating or intimidating Na Tian to act. Humph, when Dongjun starts fighting, I think the situation in the whole world will change drastically!"
Chen Yu thought to himself, with a satisfied smile on his face.
The scene of an arrow hitting Tu Suimian Gate still echoed in his mind.
A special feeling of pleasure spread throughout his body, making Chen Yu tremble with excitement.
"The situation in the world is all controlled by me, Chen Yu."
…
Three days later, Zhencheng.
The people from the four countries who stayed here gathered together again.
"There is no news from the west. It is said that the Qin army has sealed the border and no one is allowed to enter or exit. I don't know if Chen Jun and A Xin succeeded." Hengyang Lord Han Cheng said.
Zhang Liang's eyes narrowed and he whispered: "It should be successful. If Tu Sui is fine, they have no reason to block the border and not allow any news to flow. And...even if it doesn't succeed, it doesn't matter. As long as Chen
Yu carried out the assassination in the name of Tian Chong, so it would be best if Tu Sui died. Even if Tu Sui does not die, the friendly relationship between Zhao Tuo and Tian Chong will inevitably break down."
"There are soldiers on the border, and the situation is tense. This is the time when we force Tian Chong to take action. I will go to see Tian Chong and see if I can persuade him to send troops. If not, then spread the news in the military camp and provoke the Qi army.
Fighting spirit."
Although Zhang Liang was forced to participate in Chen Yu's assassination plan, since he joined, he would naturally devote himself to planning and try his best to get the Qi and Qin armies to fight.
…
In the Zhencheng Mansion, Grand Sima Tian Chong was shocked when he heard that the Koreans in front of him told him about the assassination.
Immediately afterwards, Tian Chong reacted and shouted angrily: "Shu...Shu Zi! How can you assassinate me and ruin my Tian Chong's reputation! Come on, arrest him quickly!"
"Does the Great Sima want to rebel against Qi?"
When he heard the footsteps coming from outside the door, Zhang Liang not only didn't panic, but actually shouted.
"Do I want to rebel against Qi?"
Tian Chong was stunned.
Zhang Liang calmed down the opponent with one word, and before the soldiers pounced on him, he quickly said: "The Qi State is destined to fight the Qin Army if it sends troops. Even if Da Sima does not want to fight the Qin people in advance due to the situation, he can
Sooner or later there will be a fight. By then, Tu Sui will be Da Sima’s enemy, so why should we be guilty of helping Da Sima eliminate powerful enemies?”
"We, the people of the Four Kingdoms, are friends of the Qi State. Why are we being blamed by the Great Sima when we wholeheartedly help the Great Sima? If the Great Sima takes action against us, he will definitely offend the people of the Four Kingdoms in the world and force Han, Zhao, Wei, and Yan to join Qi.
Enemies, don’t they create many enemies for Qi?”
"And the Qin army already knew that the assassin was sent by Da Sima, and Da Sima and the State of Qi are Qin's enemies. By then, the Qin army will be Da Sima's enemy, and we, the people of the four countries, will also be forced to become enemies by Da Sima, so Da Sima
How is this behavior different from rebellion against Qi?"
Tian Chong's head hurt when he heard this, but he thought that these people from the Four Kingdoms were quite troublesome and he really couldn't punish them easily. He could only wave the soldiers and guards who had pinned down Zhang Liang to retreat.
He said: "According to you, you sent assassins to kill Tu Sui, but you did it for my own good?"
Zhang Liang straightened his wrinkled clothes that were grabbed by the soldiers, and then smiled and said: "Of course. Now Zhao Tuo is lying on the bed, and Tu Sui is assassinated. The Qin army in Puyang is already in chaos. It is the time when Da Sima has made great achievements. If
If we send troops at this time to attack Puyang from the west, we will definitely be able to annihilate tens of thousands of Qin troops in one battle, capture and kill Qin general Zhao Tuo, and the name of the Great Sima will surely shock the world!"
"With the fall of Qin's East County, the battlefield in Huaibei was shaken. Wang Jian's army was attacked from the rear. It must have rushed back for reinforcements, and Xiang Yan and Chu's army would take advantage of the situation to attack. By then, the Qin army would be defeated, and the power of the world would be changed by Da Sima!
From now on, Da Sima may be compared to the likes of Sun Wu by the world..."
Zhang Liang's words were quite enticing, and even Tian Chong couldn't help but feel moved.
But immediately he remembered what Prime Minister Tianjia had told him before leaving Linzi, not to listen to the words of the people from the four countries who wanted to attack Qin.
Moreover, this time he was forced to take the blame by people from the Four Kingdoms. Naturally, he felt unhappy and said: "This matter is of great importance. Please let me think about it overnight."
"Wei, I would like to ask Grand Sima to think carefully and not to let this golden opportunity pass by."
Zhang Liang smiled and said goodbye. He understood what Tian Chong was thinking and had no intention of convincing him at once. Now he just wanted to reveal the matter first and let Tian Chong make preparations.
Next, they will incite the middle and lower-ranking generals of the Qi army and force them forward. The situation will be fierce by then, and they are not afraid that Tian Dasima will not send troops.
Although it will take some time to do so, the two Qin generals in Dongjun have no command. Without the command of the main general, the tens of thousands of Qin troops will not pose any threat, which is just a good time for them to slowly move forward.
.
They still have plenty of time.
Watch the Korean retreat.
Tian Chong rubbed the acupuncture points on both sides with his hands and couldn't help but sigh.
These people from the Four Kingdoms really made things difficult for him.
But when he thought about those assassins carrying out assassinations in his name, Tian Chong became a little worried.
Zhao Tuo doesn't think that Tian Chong is a despicable person, right?
…
The red sun sets in the west, and the dim yellow light casts a veil over the earth.
The border blocked by the Qin army.
A black-armored army of tens of thousands of people has already marched here and set up camp.
"The Qi army is very poorly guarded."
After hearing the scout's report, Zhao Tuo nodded slightly.
"The soldiers were ordered to rest for half the night, and then they broke camp overnight and marched eastward. In the early morning, they attacked Qi's army in one fell swoop!"
